Dried flowers

Evening fellow crafters. Tonight I'm uploading something I have crated using spray inks, acetate and dried flowers. I used the acetate on my big shot and tim holtz flower dies. I then used the cut flower shapes placed on smooth paper. I also used what was left from the acetate as it created a stencil affect. I then used two colour prays randomly sprayed pink, and blue which also created mauve. Once this was dried I placed dried petals and flowers from my garden to creat a design.
I hope you like the affect.

I made this for my daughter and partner as thy have jut moved into a new home. I wanted to do something they could keep. I distressed the frame and stamped a sentiment onto paper that ad been distressed with ink. I had the flowers but used treasure gold to give them a metallic look.

Steam punk

My first attempt at doing a card with a steam punk theme. Made specially for a friend who loves the trend.

Distress ink and heat embossed

I heat embossed the flowers then added some distress in to my biggest acrylic block and stamped it onto paper. I then tore round the paper and then mounted it onto some glitter paper. Then I stamped some flowers in distress ink over the top.

Pressed flowers

My friend who left work gave me some petals she had dried. I had this wooden hanging but did not know what to do with it so they came together and this is what happened. I distressed the hearts. Added the flowers and then decorated. 
It will now hang proudly in my bathroom.
